No consideration was paid for the grant of the award, which has been structured as a "nominal cost" option and requires the above named executive director to pay a price of 0.25p for each Share, on exercise of the option.

The vesting of the award remains subject to the satisfaction of a performance condition that has been set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company.
